INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Almond Meal
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until well blended.
In another shallow bowl, place the almond meal. For an extra flavor boost, you can add a pinch more salt and pepper to the almond meal.
Dip the chicken breast first in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it evenly in the almond meal, pressing gently so the crust adheres well.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the top for an extra crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the almond crust is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
